I have a fondness for Mortlach but sometimes the sherried ones can be a tad strange. Let’s try this ‘bourbon’…

Colour: white wine.

Nose: very little oak, this is very natural and, I must say, much cleaner than expected. Burst with gooseberries and rhubarb, grapefruits, then a lot of muesli and maybe angelica. A Mortlach with a lot of presence, as usual, but no meaty/flinty (or matchsticky) notes whatsoever.

Mouth: it’s very zesty, starting with a lot of lime and lemon, then more white tequila and plain grass. It’s funny how this one could be mistaken for a much lighter and much fruitier distillate, I’d even dare suggest Auchentoshan. Tangerines and limejuice with just a little candy sugar and fresh mint. A mojito made in Scotland?

Finish: medium long, very clean, grassy and limy. A little pepper in the aftertaste.

Comments: a Mortlach for summer that is very good in winter too
